58607	It is said that John was a child in the cradle when his father was killed at the Battle of Bealach-nam-Broig, but he was probably actually a teenager at the time he succeeded. Since John was still a minor his uncle, John Munro of Milntown served with distinction as Tutor of Foulis until he came of age. He had reached his majority by 20 Mar 1457. John, the last Earl of Ross, maintained an almost regal state at his castle of Dingwall. In the early years of his rule, John Munro served as Chamberlain to his Lordship. The Munros were vassals of the Earls of Ross and held Ferrindonald from them. On 10 Jul 1476, King James III forfeited the Earldom of Ross because of the continued turbulence of its possessors, their many acts of treason and persistent rebellions. From that time on, the Munros held their land directly from the Crown. The rental for these lands was to furnish the Sovereign with a snowball from the slopes of Ben Wyvis at midsummer. This was easily accomplished because the snow never completely melts from the hollows and crevices of that noble mountain. John served as Crown chamberlain of the confiscated estates. In 1478, he had a Crown charter granting him the lands of Findon in the Earldom of Ormond. John seems to have died in 1490, and certainly by 5 Jun 1491, and not in 1496 as some references state. ******** The following is from «u»The Monroe Book«/u»: «i»The tenth Baron of Foulis was George who married a daughter of McCulloch of Plaids. He was killed in 1452 at the Battle of Beallachnam-Brog as was his eldest son. He married, second, Christian McCulloch by whom he had son Hugh of Coul who succeeded to the Barony. It is with George that two lines separate to account for William of Lexington through Hugh, George's third son, and to John of Bristol, Rhode Island and Hugh of Long Island, presumed brothers, through John, his second son. John Munro, second son of George, is considered by the Munros to be the eleventh Baron of Foulis. He was a minor when he inherited the title and was under his uncle John Munro of Milntown who led the Clan at Clachnaharry in 1454. He married a daughter of Knight of Calder and a Crown charter regranted him lands of Findon in the Earldom of Ormond in 1478. He died in 1490 and was succeeded by Sir William, knighted by James IV. «/i»******** Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA	Munro, John XI of Foulis (I14)

58612	It is thought that Charles was born in Scotland between 1790 and 1810. Ref. (2) conjectures that he was a Highlander and was probably from the vicinity of Inverness. He arrived in New York State in 1811. He was a stone mason by trade and was naturalized in Albany, New York in 1828. He married Mary "Polly" Rogers, probably in 1828-1829. She was the daughter of Samuel and Lucinda Rogers, who were both born in New London County, Connecticut. Mary was born in June or July 1812. Charles appears in the City Directory of Utica, New York for 1843-1844. He lived on Bridge Street at John Street and worked as a mason. The 1846 directory lists Mary Munroe as "Widow of Charles".

58622	Itrel's birth certificate lists his birth place as Winnfield, Louisiana, which is the city that the family used for business.	Monroe, Rev. Itrel T. (I43558)
58623	Itrel's grandfather, George Ervin Monroe, was a very religious man in his old age and endeavored to pass his fervor on to his young grandson. The old man often would render his prayers aloud in the barnyard. He would call young Itrel to himself, place his hands on his head, pray over him (some would say anoint him) and announce that Itrel would grow up to be a preacher, which he did. Itrel's father sometimes cooked up some home made whiskey. It was customary in those days to use pine knot "lightard" (leitard) wood for this purpose. Young Itrel was ordered to collect the wood but refused to do so. His mother, no doubt remembering the prediction of her father-in-law, would gather the wood so Itrel would not get a "whooping" from his father. Some speculate that mama liked to indulge a little, also. Itrel's punishment was to be stationed to sound the alert in case the revenuers came to investigate. He took advantage of this opportunity by mounting a stump and practicing preaching. Of course, no self-respecting God fearing revenuer would think that a young lad preaching the gospel would be the look out for a still. Other preaching drills were carried out while plowing with the family mules. His siblings complained that he had trained the animals to be Christian and as such they would no longer obey commands that contained profanity, which was an insurmountable problem for some of them. Itrel dropped out of school during his first year of high school, which seemed to be the custom in those parts. When he was approaching eighteen years of age, he announced that he had "received the call to preach." Some of the good brothers at the Baptist Church explained to him that he could prove the legitimacy of the "call" by getting an education, which was not a practice in his family. Itrel explained that he could not go to school and raise his cotton at the same time. The members of the school board persuaded Itrel that the Lord had opened a way for him to get his education and support himself at the same time. They offered him the job of school janitor and disciplinarian while earning his high school diploma. He accepted. The school board had been having difficulty in keeping teachers because of sexual harassment from the farm boy students, so they offered jobs to two cousins from Hagewood, Louisiana who did not yet have full teaching certificates. The first day of school, before Itrel had met the new teachers, he received word that discipline was breaking down in one of the new teacher's classrooms. As he approached the room, he considered his predicament. He was well acquainted with the culprits. Besides not being a fighter, he was outnumbered. The price for being humiliated in a farming area was hard to bear. He had thought that the Lord would spare him such agony. His anxiety was assuaged when he looked through the window of the cloakroom and saw the new teacher repeatedly banging the head of the unruly student against the wall in "jack hammer" fashion. The teacher explained that she had been taught to always remove the troublesome student from the class so she had invited the student into the cloakroom which he accepted gladly. He was delighted at the opportunity to be alone with the new girl teacher. As soon as she got him alone she proceeded to pound his head against the wall, not something he had experienced or expected. He lost the mating urge immediately. Itrel said he had an easy year. No disciplinary problems at all. Itrel then introduced himself to the lady who later became his wife. Itrel's Social Security number was 433-18-9330 Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA	Monroe, Rev. Itrel T. (I43558)

58627	Ivers and Nancy had seven children.	Family F8966
58628	Ivers lived in Ashburnham, Massachusetts until 1846 when he moved to Camden, New York. There he entered the law office of Stephen Cromwell as a student. He found Mr. Cromwell to be an able instructor and a generous friend. After he was admitted to the bar in 1848, a partnership was immediately formed. As the business of the office increased, it was ably handled by Cromwell and Munroe for the next twenty years. These years were crowned by a fitting measure of success. During the Civil War, Ivers Munroe was commissioner of drafts and enrollment of the twentieth District of New York. He next went to Iowa, and from 1842 to 1862 he actively practiced his profession, first at Sidney and Tremont County and next at Clinton, the shire of Clinton County. In this field he was at once recognized as a faithful attorney and a man of character and integrity. In Clinton, he was alderman for several years, and held a prominent position in professional, public affairs and business. About 1882, he resided in Oneida, New York in impaired health. The following is his obituary at Oneida, New York. "Ivers Munroe, Descendant of Him who fired the shot Heard Round the World. Oneida, July 7, 1899--The funeral of Ivers Munroe was held at 11 o'clock to-day at his home, no. 6 Seneca Street, the services being conducted by the Rev. Louis H. Holden, assistant pastor of the first Presbyterian church, and at noon the body was taken to Camden for burial...The bearers were E. Eugene Coon, Allen S. Whitman, Hiram L. Rockwell, Roswell B. Downing, James B. Jenkins and E. Emmons Coe. Ivers Munroe was highly respected and his memory will b elong cherished on account of his good deeds. He was born at Ashburnham, Mass., in 1822. Twenty-four years later he moved to Camden, where he studied law in the office of Attorney Stephen Cromwell and was admitted to practice in 1848. He formed a partnership with Mr. Cromwell, which lasted for a period of more than twenty years. During his residence at Camden Mr. Munroe was elected Justice of the Peace, and from 1862 to 1865 he was Commissioner of Drafts for the twentieth district. His commission was signed by Secretary Stanton, and his office was at that of the Provost Marshall at Utica. Mr. Munroe removed to Iowa in 1868, first locating at Sidney and afterward at Clinton where he practiced his profession. While at Clinton he was elected to represent his ward in the Board of Aldermen. Coming here in 1882, he resumed his practice, and became a trustee of, and the attorney for the Oneida Savings bank. Owing to failing health, he resigned those offices last winter. He was an attendant of the First Presbyterian church, although not embraced in its membership. Lieut. Ebenezer Munroe, credited by historians with having fired the first gun for the American side in the war of independence, and was one of the first patriots wounded in the first battle of Lexington, was the grandsire of the deceased. Besides a widow, one daughter, Mrs. Homer Chapin of this place, and a son Charles Munroe of Hacketstown, N.J., the deceased is survived by one brother, Loring Munroe, a venerable resident of Broad Street. He was the son of Charles Munroe, a soldier during the second war with England in 1812, serving with the Ashburnham Light Infantry." His second wife, Nancy, was the daughter of Chaney Thomas. His third wife was Myriah J. (Jennie) Chapin. It is thought that the Mrs. Homer Chapin mentioned in the above obituary was the daughter of Myriah Chapin by a previous marriage. The History of Ashburnham, Massachusetts, by Ezra Stearns, 1887, says that Ivers Munro had seven children, and that only two were living in 1887. Ref: "Lexington, Mass. Munroes", 2nd ed. by R. S.
